Ok, I read the older posts about using Google for Phrase Searching, but why has this not been addressed here yet. Another site that does this is http://www.BlogTalkRadio.com where I enter a name and it results in let's say, 500+ hits. Enter the full name (two words) and I get over 21,000 hits!

Why on earth would any site do such? Most of my years on the Internet, the default is to NARROW the results with more terms added.

Back to BlogTalkRadio.com. Phrase Searching was working when I had FF v27, briefly. I get v29, and now there is no Phrase Searching on BlogTalkRadio.com. Is this a FireFox issue, or did BlogTalkRadio.com 'fix' or 'break' the Phrase Searching while I upgraded to FF v29?

Some search engines will look for anything that matches the search. If you enter 2 items, it searches for each independently and posts everything. Some search engines will list entries with all items first, but then list all the single item listing as well.
